Not the Father, but Put My Name on the Birth Certificate

My question involves paternity law for the State of: Louisiana

I was dating a girl who was a few weeks pregnant. Although we were together throughout her pregnancy and I was there for the birth of the child - I am not the father. Thinking she was the one, we put my name on the child's birth certificate, the child also has my last name. Needless to say the relationship didn't work out. How do I go about having my name removed from the birth certificate as the father and changing the child's last name from mine? The baby is currently 5 weeks old.

Get an attorney ASAP.

Signing an AOP while knowing that you are NOT the father is fraud, so you REALLY need an attorney.
